You are doing right thing but it happens because I think your on version 4.1.2
Flash the latest firmware 4.2.2 then
Use towelroot app for root access
Flash the kernel thru flashtool that u mention in post.then try it will work

First you have to unlock the bootloader and then flash cwm if you did not unlock the bootloader you will surely get bootloops and I dont know about odin and if you faces bootloops you should flash you phone's firmware via flashtool.
Thank me if I helped you.

Odin is for Samsung devices.
you have to use flashtool.
cwm for Xperia e on a locked bootloader is currently not available.
you need to unlock your bootloader,and then if you face a bootloop you can flash stock firmware.
and then when it's done flash cwm kernel
xperia e bootloop

i did the proces(which u said) before...i faved bootloops...and from many researches in xda,i recovered my cell,now i dont wanna make my phone dead again..!!
hit thanks button..be helpful..!!
thanks,it workedd:laugh:
... i'm also a C1505 user and i have already used cwm on this device succesfully. Odin is for samsung devices but if you 'really' want cwm here is what i can suggest you to do to unlock bl (i did not face any bootloops on my first attempt to unlock the bootloader(is that luck?)).
1. back-up files, photos...
2. make sure that your C1505 is 11.3.A.2.23 and PC companion is installed and running, and you have flashtool ready on your desktop.
3. follow this thread for unlocking the bootloader (this was the one i used).
if you still face bootloops, you could repair it by using PC companion or downloading a 11.3.A.2.23 .ftf then flashing by using adroxydes flastool
i hope this helpsss.

Don't worry if you face bootloops, you can always flash stock firmware to fix them. I flashed CWM with adb via command line and it's perfect. Installed CM10 1.1.0 and works fine. PM if you want it

hello guys i need a little help. i am using sony xperia 2011 device which is xperia mini st15i.
its rooted with eroot on stock rom and stock kernel with locked bootloader.
i wanted to install cwm mod on my phone but i found that i cant install cwm on my device as my stock kernel does not have recovery partition and i dont want to unlock my bootloader atm. i tried xparts and xdaromhub to install cwm on my device without unlocking bl but none of the method seems to be working for me. now i am thinking to go ahead and unlocking my bl and install a custom kernel but i want to know is there any method by which i cam backup my current state of my phone i.e. in future if i want to revert back to stock rom and stock kernel with bootloader locked like it was never unlocked. if there is a method for that please tell me or if u know any other method of installing cwm without unlocking bl pls tell me that too. also i have a backup of my stock firmware from pc companion which i made .ftf file with flashtool. i have flashed it successfully in past so will that firmware relock my bootloader and revert to stock kernel and stock rom if i flash it with flashtool after unlocking bl? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much for reading
hi i installed old version of xparts and i was able to install the cwm 5.0 and make it work but still i cant install 5.5 version of cwm from latest xparts any suggestions. also pls can any1 tell me about my question above that will the stock firmware .ftf file relock bootloader and stock kernel? pls any help even a little would be appreciated thank you
Hey guys,
Im having problem to revert from CM12 to new Lollipop-version or Stock in general. When I try to flash with flashtool the package a get an error message that it can´t open the bundle.
Im sure this is an common problem but I have tried almost everything but it wont work. I got an CM-based recovery (never seen it before, its not like CWM). I have all the necessary drivers and I using an win 7 computer.
Any idea? Should I try to flash an ordinary cwm and then try to flash stock firmware again?
I have also backed up my DRM-keys, any good with them? I have unlocked bootloader and of course rooted device.
Could really use some help right now
restore to .93, root with giefroot, restore keys, reboot and flash lollipop. if you want root, flash a lollipop zip which you can find somewhere around here.

Restore to .93? How can I restore key? Right now its just matters with the stock firmware, root comes later
You can flash the stock pre-rooted ZIP from Android Development Section through your recovery instead of using flashtool. You won't have to go through the whole rooting process again. If the CM recovery is failing, flash/replace it with TWRP/CWM/xZDualrecovery (tutorials are in their respective threads).
If you want to use your DRM keys, relock your bootloader (after flashing a stock (based) ROM) and restore them with the tool you used for backing them up. You will regain all the functionality.
Did you try different .ftf files with flashtool?

Awesome! I will try it! Thanks man!
Got a huge problem!
I tried to flash over with Flashable stock 23.1.A.0.690 (5.0.2) pre-rooted with XZ dualrecovery but it didnt work. I got an Cyanogen recovery so I removed it and replaced it with cwm instead but now I have no OS at all and I really need help to get stock again
Edit: When I try to flash the stock fw I get this error message: "Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled"
use flashtool.

I already use flashtool when I get this error message. I also tried to delete the "prepared" folder but it didnt work. I try right now to flash in fastboot mode but it doesnt seems to work. I think there is a problem with drivers.

I have already downloaded the usb drivers for fastboot and flashmode but it doesnt work anyway.
It looks like whether the drivers aren't installed correctly (did you reboot your pc at least once?) or you may get the whole connect - disconnect - connect in flashmode procedure wrong.
Hi all, I'm on unlocked bootloader and I flashed the lastest 5.1.1 via flashtool on my D6603.
Now I need to install recovery to install the ROM that I'm interested in but after one try I installed it using this http://howtorootmobile.com/guide-install-twrp-recovery-sony-xperia-z3/ and after that the phone it's in a bootloop.... At least I managed to enter on the recovery and after that I flashed back the previus ROM that I have and now I reflashed lastest 5.1.1 via flashtool so can someone please guide me to install a recovery without having bootloops after doing so?
Nevermind: I installed the last TWRP and it's working now
Hi there, I want to relock my bootloader and install stock recovery for X507, EUI 019s, is there any guide to do that?
P.S: I want my phone back to stock, didn't find any link for stock recovery, also i don't wanna use sp tool as it bricked my device last time, so complicated.
Right now bootloader is unlocked and twrp installed.
Thanks in Advance!
